Cimetière du Père-Lachaise

A graveyard from 1804, implemented by Napoleon. Known for lots of its inhabitants, but probably most of all Jim Morrison.

Here lies Jim

A weird thing to visit maybe, but it is a ‘thing’ for sure.. we got here fairly early in the morning, a -of all things- sunny morning! (Finally!). And walking up to the grave of Jim Morrison probably felt different without the hordes of tourists coming here during peak season.

Eiffel tower

We took the subway down to La Motte for a quick breakfast at Poupart Piquot, thats one of those Bakeries they call boulangeries…or something like that. We got it of someone on YouTube – it was a good recommendation 👍👍 Really great little spot for some French breakfast options..

330 meter high… You get a more feel of the size of it when you get close, and se people walking up n down.

Cantillon Brewery, Brussel

Today was the day for laundry – luckily we had a laundromat real close by – but we still had to kinda hang around

But this posed little to no problem – since our hotel is in walking distance to Cantillon Brewery, and a wash is pretty much as long as a tour and some tasteers.

Cantillon Brewery

The Brewery is located just of one of the main streets close to Midi station, and there is nothing that really gives you an idea that there is a close to 125 year old Brewery here. Even outside, no one there – tons of ppl on the inside though.
